When the sea falls from the shore As the light sinks low, will I see you any more? As the rain falls from the sky Can I bring you back, from a distant lullaby? Show me your vision, the story begun Two lights are rising and burning as one In the deep blue of the night Shine the millions of stars and my spirit burning bright Spinning on, into the sun, flying higher Now my journey's begun... And the... Cold, cold wind, it blows me away The feeling all over is a black, black day But I know that I'll see you again And I know that you're near me There's a star, calling my name Its echo is true and the song is not the same Take my hand and lead me away Bring me back to you; in your arms I'm going to stay... Tell me your vision, the story begun Two lights are rising and burning as one All those years drifting in space I have known you well, yet I've never seen your face You turn around, looking at me, laughter in your eyes And now I can see And the cold, cold wind, it blows me away The feeling all over is a black, black day But I know that I'll see you again And I know that you're near me Benedictus Benedictus qui venit nomine Domini Hosanna in excelsis Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the highest Dark Waltz We are the lucky ones We shine like a thousand suns When all of the colour runs together I'll keep you company In one glorious harmony Waltzing with destiny forever Dance me into the night Underneath the full moon shining so bright Turning me into the light Time dancers whirling past I gaze through the looking glass And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven Sacred geometry Where movement is poetry Visions of you and me forever Dance me into the night Underneath the full moon shining so bright Turning me into the light Dance me into the night Underneath the full moon shining so bright Let the dark waltz begin Oh let me wheel, let me spin Let it take me again Turning me into the light Hine E Hine E tangi ana Koe Hine, E Hine!

From my care why try to leap There is love for you Mother's arms their strength will keep Hine, E Hine! See where there comes the morn Hine, E Hine! Long rays of early dawn Hine, E Hine! Shining to Reinga far Where thy noble grandsires are Nestle Aroha! Hine, E Hine! |

Let your arms enfold us Through the dark of night Will your angels hold us Till we see the light Hush, lay down your troubled mind The day has vanished and left us behind And the wind - whispering soft lullabies Will soothe - so close your eyes Let your arms enfold us Through the dark of night Will your angels hold us Till we see the light Sleep, angels will watch over you And soon beautiful dreams will come true Can you feel spirits embracing your soul So dream while secrets of darkness unfold Let your arms enfold us Through the dark of night Will your angels hold us Till we see the light River Of Dreams River of dreams take me with you tonight Lying in your arms we'll drift to Islands of wonder that gleam and glow Under the stars As we glide through the dark To the heart of the night River of dreams gently hold me again I remember all you told me All of the secrets you whispered as we crept away From the daylight and melted back into the night Was I awake or did I dream The kiss of waves The silver slipstream That tumbles as it turns again towards the sea River of dreams softly flowing away Let me follow where you are going And make me a part of you Deep in the heart of you Let my reflection be clear In the water of life That tumbles as it turns again towards the night That tumbles as it turns again towards the night She Moves Through The Fair My young love said to me My mother won't mind And my father won't slight you For your lack of kind She stepped away from me And she moved through the fair And fondly I watched her Move here and move there And then she went onwards Just one star awake Like the swan in the evening Moves over the lake Last night she came to me My dead love came in So softly she came That her feet made no din And she laid her hand on me And this she did say It will not be long now And she moved through the fair Summer Fly In another younger day I could dream the time away In the universe inside my room And the world was really mine from June to September And if that wasn't really so I was lucky not to know And I was lucky not to wonder why 'Cause summertime is all that I remember A summer fly was buzzin' every night When I was young In the gentle world my childlike senses knew When the world was just my cousin And the wind was just the dawn The voice my lonely moments listened to And I look at me today all my dreams have gone away And I'm where I never thought I'd be Seein' things I never thought I'd see happening to me And I lie awake at night till the darkness goes to light Hearin' voices callin' out my name Dronin' over and again the same message to me Cryin' who's your partner, who's your darlin', who's your baby now? Who wakes up at night to pull you in? Whoa, it don't matter, you’d just make her lonely anyhow Don't know why you even try to win |
We'd roll and fall in green. You had a temper like my jealousy: Too hot, too greedy. How could you leave me, When I needed to possess you? I hated you. I loved you, too. Bad dreams in the night. They told me I was going to lose the fight, Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff, it's me-Cathy. Come home. I'm so cold! Let me in-a-your window. Heathcliff, it's me-Cathy. Come home. I'm so cold! Let me in-a-your window. Ooh, it gets dark! It gets lonely, On the other side from you. I pine a lot. I find the lot Falls through without you. I'm coming back, love. Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream, My only master. Too long I roam in the night. I'm coming back to his side, to put it right. I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering, Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff, it's me-Cathy. Come home. I'm so cold! Let me in-a-your window. Heathcliff, it's me-Cathy. Come home. I'm so cold! Let me in-a-your window. Ooh! Let me have it. Let me grab your soul away. Ooh! Let me have it. Let me grab your soul away. You know it's me-Cathy! Heathcliff, it's me-Cathy. Come home. I'm so cold! Let me in-a-your window. Heathcliff, it's me-Cathy. Come home. I'm so cold! Let me in-a-your window. Heathcliff, it's me-Cathy. Come home. I'm so cold! You Are Water When I'm lost in a tunnel of shadows and fears with no light, only night. And I listen for kind words but nobody's here, oh so blue, all but you. You are the one voice that gives me my own voice oh don't you know? You are water on a hot summer day for a thirsty daughter who's finding her way. You are water, I found my oasis I'm drinking from the fountain of dreams You are water. You hear the melody of my song. You stop time, heal my mind. You show me struggle can make you so strong. Plant the seed, let is sleep. You are the one voice that gives me my own voice oh don't you know? You are water on a hot summer day for a thirsty daughter, finding her way. You are water, I found my oasis and now I've got my arms wide open, now we've got my wishes in motion and I want to thank you, yeah I want to thank you. Every step that you take...shows me the way You are water on a hot summer day for a thirsty daughter, finding her way. You are water I found my oasis and now I've got my wishes in motion. You are water. You are water. You are water. You are water. Pie Jesu (English) Merciful Jesus, Merciful Jesus, Merciful Jesus, Merciful Jesus Who takes away the sins of the world Grant them peace Grant them everlasting peace Lamb of God, lamb of god, lamb of god, lamb of god You who take away the sins of the world Grant them peace, grant them everlasting peace Everlasting, peace, everlasting |
‘Tis the last rose of summer Left blooming all alone, All her lovely companions Are faded and gone. No flower of her kindred, No rose bud is nigh, To reflect back her blushes, And give sigh for sigh. I’ll not leave thee, thou lone one, To pine on the stem. Since the lovely are sleeping, Go sleep now with them. Thy leaves o’er the bed Where thy mates of the garden Lie scentless and dead. So soon may I follow When friendships decay, And from love’s shining circle The gems drop away! When true hearts lie withered And fond ones are flown Oh! Who would inhabit This bleak world alone? The Mummers’ Dance Music and lyrics by Loreena McKennitt When in the Springtime of the year When the trees are crowned with leaves When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew Are dressed in ribbons fair When owls call the breathless moon In the blue veil of the night The shadows of the trees appear Amidst the lantern light Chorus: We've been rambling all the night And some time of this day Now returning back again We bring a garland gay Who will go down to those shady groves And summon the shadows there And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms In the springtime of the year The songs of birds seem to fill the wood That when the fiddler plays All their voices can be heard Long past their woodland days Chorus: We've been rambling all the night And some time of this day Now returning back again We bring a garland gay And so they linked their hands and danced Round in circles and in rows And so the journey of the night descends When all the shades are gone "A garland gay we bring you here And at your door we stand It is a sprout well budded out The work of Our Lord's hand" Chorus: We've been rambling all the night And some time of this day Now returning back again We bring a garland gay Chorus: We've been rambling all the night And some time of this day Now returning back again May It Be Music: Eithne Nà Bhraonáin -: Roma Ryan May it be an evening star Shines down upon you May it be when darkness falls Your heart will be true You walk a lonely road Oh! How far you are from home Mornië utúlië (Quenya: Darkness has come) Believe and you will find your way Mornië alantië (Quenya: Darkness has fallen) A promise lives within you now May it be the shadow's call Will fly away May it be your journey on To light the day When the night is overcome You may rise to find the sun Mornië utúlië (Quenya: Darkness has come) Believe and you will find your way Mornië alantië (Quenya: Darkness has fallen) A promise lives within you now |
